The Victory Vertical Project uses descriptive vignettes accompanied by piano music in many styles – classical, popular, boogie-woogie, jazz, and movie soundtracks – to bring to life a remarkable account of courage, solidarity, and the power of music. Garik Pedersen, a Steinway artist, performs music by a varied and extensive list of composers to provide fascinating, beautiful, and moving glimpses into the war that, more than any other, united us as a people with a common purpose. The Victory Vertical Project celebrates the power of music to lift morale, bring people together, provide physical and mental healing, and instill a profound sense of purpose.

At a time when we occasionally cross paths with insolent “Karens,” it’s nice to know that some good Karens exist. Comedians Karen Mills and Karen Morgan join together to bring you an evening of comedy filled with lots of laughter and zero toxic behavior. Unlike the other “Karens” in the news, these Karens are funny (not fractious), intelligent (not ignorant), and affable (not angry). They bring a different and hilarious point of view to this clever and clean comedy show.

This multimedia concert will feature the Close to the Edge album in its entirety, plus a selection of classic Yes cuts accompanied by a full-scale, high-definition video wall.

Dakota Ray Parker performs many varieties of music including classic country (Merle Haggard, Hank Williams, Johnny Cash), some classic rock (Neil Diamond, Eric Clapton, Bruce Springsteen), Folk music (The Avett Brothers, Bob Dylan, Tom T Hall), Elvis Presley, Adele, Justin Bieber and so much more. He also writes his own music with more than 35 original songs. He won The Voice of Wabash County in 2018 and opened for Aaron Barker at the Eagles Theater.

The Concert Band and Soldiers’ Chorus ensembles combine to present a performance ranging from orchestral masterworks and operatic arias to Sousa marches, jazz classics, and Broadway musicals. The 60-member band and 29-member chorus perform around the world, representing the Army at formal functions including presidential parades and diplomatic efforts overseas.

With more than 300 shows scheduled each year, Mike Almon has been playing guitar and writing music since he was 14. This year he plans to release his first studio-recorded album “Had a Good Run” featuring a mix of his originals, along with two bonus track parodies “Last Fence” and “Detour Land.”

Click your heels together tres veces and take a transformative journey with this salsa, merengue, and Mexican folk-infused bi-lingual musical inspired by The Wizard of Oz. Dora, a contemporary Latine teenager, struggles with her family’s ideas about tradition and dreads her impending quinceañera. But when she gets swept away to a strange new land, she learns how to celebrate her unique rhythm and embrace her cultural identity. This performance is easy to follow for both those fluent in (or learning) Spanish, and those who are not. Student matinees are held during the school day as field trip opportunities, but are open to the public as well.
